Postseason career: 7-2, 81 IP, 1.89 ERA, 2 World Series titles

His sample isn’t much bigger than Koufax’s, but it’s just a little bit better.

In nine postseason starts, Gibson threw eight complete games. At one point, he had won seven straight World Series starts and -- believe it or not -- averaged more than nine innings pitched per start in that span. In those seven starts, six were complete games and the seventh was a 10-inning win against the Yankees.

Want more? Gibson actually hit a home run in Game 7 of the 1964 Series, which turned out to be his second Game 7 World Series win in four seasons.
